Many laser diode packages include a second photo diode to monitor the output of the laser. One of the most commonly used and important laser diode specifications or characteristics is its L/I curve. Application is going to define the major parameters of a laser diode: wavelength, power, and package style.

DVD players use a sophisticated laser system to read data: A semiconductor diode generates a laser beam. This application note describes the use and features of six available DVD formats: DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, DVD+R, and DVD+RW. It explains how recording and rewriting work, including the bit stream coding and recording/rewriting current waveforms required from the laser diodes. Additionally, they are utilized in laser pointers, medical equipment for surgery, and laser printers. This is a low noise red laser producing light in the 600-650 nanometer (nm) range. One of them may contain the laser but the pics are so bad I'm not going to guess.

Laser diodes form a subset of the larger classification of semiconductor p – n junction diodes. Forward electrical bias across the laser diode causes the two species of charge carrier – holes and electrons – to be injected from opposite sides of the PIN junction into the depletion region.
